We left on our road trip to wales in early February with the idea of riding the worlds fastest zip wire... but sadly the heavy snowfall ended that adventure before it even begun. As we were staying in Snowdonia the next best thing on the list was to climb Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.
As this was a last minute plan, we were unprepared at best. We had no route planned, no crampons, packs or ice axes, as if that was going to stop us. We chose the Rhyd Ddu path to the Snowdon Summit which turned out to be pretty sketchy at the top with all the recent snowfall. Lucky we came across a few helpful climbers at the peak who showed us an easier way down as we were running out of light to mess about.
We stayed in an awesome cottage called the Bron Elan Cottage in Dolwyddelan which is about ten minutes from the well known Betws-y-coed(booked on booking.com). It had a wood burner which was a touch in the cold weather we had had. Would recommend it if you were thinking of going to Snowdonia, was a good hub to start from.
Swallow falls was insane, it was in full flow and had some serious water coming off it. The style entry was £1.50 each but if you are in a pair and skinny enough, two people can fit through in one turn.
If you're thinking of going to Port Meirion you can get free entry at the Castle restaurant if you had a starter and a main. Its a pretty plush place and we rocked up in old jeans which wasn't to suiting. A meal for two cost about £50 with drinks and the entry for an adult is £8 each (making the meal £36). The food was nice and decent sized. Port Merioin itself was a bit gloomy as it was February but we imagined it to look amazing on a brighter summer day.
And lastly before heading back to Brighton we stopped off at The Ugly House Tea Room's. Good cake and coffee, was a little steep in price tho.
The video was filmed on a Panasonic GH5 with the 14-140 and the 20mm f1.7
